OpenThe Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra is the most merciful incarnation of the Supreme Lord in this age of Kali. As stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, there is no difference between the Supreme Lord and His holy name. Chanting these transcendental sound vibrations purifies the heart and awakens pure love of Godhead.
Congregational chanting is especially praised in the teachings of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and helps devotees support one another in remembrance of Kṛṣṇa.
Receive live darshan from ISKCON temples when broadcasts are verified, and let temple worship support remembrance of Kṛṣṇa across time zones.
Use daily japa, śāstra, līlā and calendar tools to support steady personal nāma-bhajana.
Support one another through shared remembrance, attentive chanting, śāstra study, and respectful Vaiṣṇava association.
"harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam
kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā"
In this age of Kali, there is no other means of spiritual realization than chanting the holy names of the Lord. There is no other way, no other way, no other way.
The mahā-mantra consists of three transcendental names of the Supreme Personality of Godhead: Hare, Kṛṣṇa, and Rāma. These are not material sound vibrations but Śabda-Brahma (spiritual sound) that directly connects the chanter with the spiritual realm. This practice is recommended in all Vedic scriptures as the essential spiritual activity for this age.
